If we say that when everyone first came into contact with the campaign mode, they only found it difficult and unfamiliar, and it was too difficult to open up wasteland, and then many people were persuaded to quit.
To this day, this phenomenon has not actually improved much...
Rather, as the average strength of the player group in the normal mode is getting higher and higher, everyone becomes more and more uncomfortable after suddenly returning to the "ordinary person" level in the battle~
It's as if you have finally become a rich man, relaxed and happy every day, happy with the spring breeze, and sleeping... Suddenly you have to start working 996 or even 007 day and night, eating chaff and swallowing dirt just to pay the rent, water, electricity and gas.
Then I counted on my fingers how many years it would take me to get enough down payment to buy a house...
How can this not make people collapse and cry?
Therefore, except for a small number of players who insist on "reclaiming wasteland" through the campaign, some even gradually appear, like Xie Jiatong of the Holy Maiden, who has joined the kingdom's army and become a "high-end player" with a formal military status.
Most people still stayed away from the campaign mode~
Every weekend when the battle opens, they either give up the opportunity to fight, or go in for a casual stroll, just like a tourist to see the scenery of the mountain countryside, and then either get eaten to death by wild monsters, or starve to death...
What's more, they are so bold as to tease NPCs!
Don't be surprised, because the campaign mode really adheres to the purpose of full freedom and high fidelity. Except for the impossibility of breaking through the bottom line, normal physical contact is completely possible in the campaign.
Player vs. NPC, player vs. player... There are various "playing methods". In short, there is nothing you can't think of, and nothing you can't do~
(I estimate that many readers will be unhappy with this part of the setting, or disagree with it... But if we want to truly simulate a cold weapon war, I think this situation itself is one of the "selling points"... There is no torture, whipping or training.
, it’s simply too boring... Of course, the system will add a reminder later. Those who can’t accept it can just quit or give up the chance to fight. It’s great to give up an identity... At the same time, there are various interactions such as imprisonment, escape, struggle, and prisoner robbery.
It can greatly enhance the love and hatred between individuals in battle)
It has to be said that among the players, there are always relatively few people with good qualities such as "hard-working" and "pioneering and enterprising", but there are really a sea of people who dare to try to do anything random...
Players are naturally the breeding ground for "chaotic" forces, as everyone knows~
It's just that most of those players who dared to stretch out their hands met a miserable end.
He has no status in the eyes of the NPC, and yet he dares to act recklessly. Isn’t that just asking for death?
Do you really think that besides standing guard and patrolling, the militiamen and guards only do chatting and spanking?
And the reason for this situation is that big guilds and powerful forces such as Holy Maiden and Jiangshan also bear a certain responsibility.
They have more manpower and resources at their disposal, and have stronger pressure-bearing capabilities, so they have gradually discovered that a lot of "training" in the campaign mode can "slowly" increase the basic value of attributes...
It’s just that the efficiency is so impressive. It’s simply incomparable to the benefits of casually defeating wild monsters in normal mode to get a lot of combat experience, and then casually upgrading the professional level to add a bunch of attribute added value~
Nowadays, the big map is where the majority of players gather. The campaign mode is not popular with ordinary players, so why should they disclose the "secrets" they have?
Either ignore it, or slowly accumulate strength secretly. In short, the big forces will not spend all day promoting some campaign mode...
There used to be "rumors" on the forum that "the story missions are derived from the campaign", which for a time increased the popularity of the campaign mode a little bit.
It's a pity that only a very small number of lucky people have the ability to dig out plot missions from the campaign. After others tried but failed, the popularity quickly faded away in three minutes.
Coupled with the series of eye-catching things that happened on the big map surrounding the first copy, gradually no one mentioned the campaign mode anymore~
It’s just that the above situations all refer to “once”!
Today, through a series of official "material videos" released on the forum, players finally realized - the official seems to be focusing on the campaign mode?!
And look at the footage that can be called movie quality...
The gloomy and terrifying scene in the cave, the cold killing under the swaying firelight, the domineering and arrogant figure in the bandit camp, the crazy and evil eyes of the enemy chieftain when he choked him and looked around...
All of this, it seems...it seems...maybe...it's really more interesting than the mechanical, simple, rough monster hunting in the normal mode, and it seems a little more interesting??
In the past week, discussions like this have gradually become a trend on the forum.
After all, although the players are a little "ignorant", they are not stupid~
In the past, I couldn't see a way out or a long shot, and the battle was really too difficult compared to the other two, so I followed my lazy nature and played the normal mode.
But if you think about it carefully and compare it carefully, you will find that the high-fidelity simulation in the campaign mode is actually much more interesting~
Not to mention anything else, the setting of "character identity" after "birth" gives people an inexplicable and wonderful experience of real time travel.
Especially for some lucky people, their status is not the poorest and helpless status such as street children or orphans, but the children of the Orion family in the village, relatives of the grocery store, or even the distant nephews of the merchants in the town.
.
This kind of people who are "born" with their own family background can be said to really win at the starting line. At least they will have enough food and clothing in the battle. Even if you are not doing your job properly and are idle, there will be a few more nagging you in the game.
Nao, a "relative" who talks sweetly and sincerely.
I have to say, this feels really amazing~
At first, no one cared about this. Some people talked about it and others didn’t care to read it.
But now everyone is gradually thinking about it, and after some people jump out and show off their unusual gaming experiences, everyone's minds are even more uncertain~
Although that kind of "identity" obviously cannot be shared by everyone... but at least it allows everyone to see the amazing "development potential" of the campaign mode - if you have the ability, you might be able to start a family here!
Think about what someone said before about being able to touch NPCs in the village...
Speaking of which, the campaign mode of this game seems really interesting!!!
Players, that's it, often have various interests and ideas that come and go ~ and are very easily affected by various trends and public opinions.
Obviously everything is laid out for everyone to freely choose and play as they please.
However, previous reviews were generally unfavorable to the campaign mode. Even if some people wanted to try it, they would not want to try it after hearing people around them scolding it.
Now the situation has changed... Hey~ the campaign mode seems to be going to be popular all of a sudden??
This situation really reached its climax after midnight on Saturday!
Because at this moment, the only CG video on the "Shadow of War" sub-page on the official website was unlocked - it was a nearly 40-minute high-quality 3A film and television-level promotional masterpiece!!!
Unexpectedly, the protagonist of the "story" seems to still be the "Geralt" whose identity has been completely exposed.
It's just different from the short "material video" that was released every day.
This complete promotional CG has obviously been carefully edited. The originally scattered and unrelated game clips revolved around "Geralt", who was arranged into an "ignorant boy" who grew up in the countryside and traveled in the wilderness.
The story of then serving the kingdom and joining the army.
The content of the story is very simple, but it highlights the experience of the character "Geralt" at once~
And in this process, whether it was the clearance of a cave or the massacre of bandits in the mountains, Liu Yifei's action performance far exceeded the understanding and level of current players, making him seem to be a top-notch action actor!
Especially the battle between the bandits in the field and the vampires in the town that took place in the "Border Suspense" plot chain.
Frequently using visual blind spots and obstacles to sneak up on assassinations, dashing through the crowd, fighting dangerous and bloodthirsty undead monsters in the dark night, laughing and swinging his sword even though his body was covered in blood...
Liu Yifei alone demonstrated the unyielding, wild, domineering and ferocious nature of the warrior to the fullest... even giving goose bumps to the hundreds of thousands of players who watched the CG through the screen!
Those scoldings, roars, grinning, and shouting seemed to be in the ears, allowing everyone who watched this CG to experience a completely different time-travel visual experience with the emotional rendering of the characters in the picture...
This is a game promotion CG???
There’s nothing wrong with saying this is a well-crafted fantasy movie, right???
In addition to the simple and plain plot content, the graphics, sound effects, and actors' expressiveness are completely above the standard!!!
Especially the final climax of this CG...
It was after the young man named "Geralt" joined the army that a bloody battle took place under an unknown city!
Just seeing this, hundreds of thousands of players couldn't help but curse~
This is a plot that players can participate in at this stage???
Are you a liar?!
Because the previous battles may be exciting or thrilling, but whether it is the strength of the enemy or the combat background, they are still within the acceptance range of ordinary players - after all, they are still adventurous solo battles.
But the last section of "Legion Combat" is really a bit over the top...
It’s not like there are no players playing Over’s demon clan. Who can’t recognize the demon clan units in the CG?
Even after playing for three months, players can roughly understand the names of lemures, gog, hellhounds, and horned devils...
But what the hell is the Legion War between Erathia and Orver???
When did this happen???
The video shows thousands of units involved in a regular army battle in a large city. Why is there no news on the forum from the beginning to the end?
It can't be...it can't be that all this was triggered by the player named Geralt alone???
At first, everyone was only amazed by the background and scale of this battle.
But as the terrifying combat power displayed by "Geralt" in the video became clearer, everyone began to change the direction of the bombardment to the other party - before, it was clear that even fighting a vampire had to be fought to the death, why now?
But he was able to slay the horned evil spirit into nothingness in the midst of a huge army???
You must know that players nowadays are no longer so "ignorant"~
At least everyone can still find out such basic things as the vampire is a fourth-level creature of Diya and the horned devil is a fourth-level creature of Ofer!
How long did it take before and after this, and why did the opponent's strength suddenly expand to such an extent?
Obviously everyone is as weak as a salted fish in the campaign mode. Even the first-level [Lancers] and [Lemurs] can kill four or five players at will.
But in the hands of this person...
When the evil demon hits him, there will be no whole body left! With a wave of the big sword in the man's hand, he can easily cut the evil demon into pieces in a bloody mess on the spot!
It's no exaggeration! It's really a two-part split from beginning to end...
Based on this strength comparison... doesn't it mean that in the campaign mode, ordinary players will be no different from ants when they encounter this Geralt?
A first-level lemure kills four or five players, but they can catch a third-level ceremonial dog and kill it as a wild dog. Killing lemures and so on is even more casual...
How could the difference in strength between the two players be so huge???
Fortunately, this large-scale "public anger" gradually shifted as the war situation escalated.
The scale and intensity of this legion war were astonishing. The subsequent changes were even more dazzling to countless viewers~
The sudden appearance of human stealth troops, the meteors and fire showers of hidden abyssal demons, the summons of demons, the human griffons, the roar of demons rising into the sky, the roar of galloping horses...
The fierce battles have long been dizzying, and at one point it even got to the point where everyone forgot that this was a "promotional CG edited based on players' personal experiences" and just thought they were watching some popcorn special effects blockbuster!
When the camera cut back to "Geralt", everyone recovered a little from the shock... But soon they were so shocked that they wanted to break through the light screen projection in front of them~
Because at the end of the CG, the "chief" of the demon side suddenly summoned the "Troll Phantom" who looked majestic, domineering and cool, and unleashed endless firepower like crazy, but they were all beaten by that hero.
Larter escaped without any injuries in a slow-motion close-up shot (the order of the battle was changed back and forth through editing techniques).
Then "Male Pig's Knuckle" Geralt, who narrowly dodged a series of magic attacks, finally roared and jumped up high, and struck the demon head with all his strength with a sword!
And at this moment, the camera suddenly zoomed to an unknown height in the sky... It was as if everything happened at the moment when Geralt struck down with his sword. The next moment, there were thousands of flaming giants on the battlefield that reached straight into the sky.
The pillar suddenly erupted and "trapped" all the demons in it one by one!
Look at that posture... It's as if someone slashed down with a sword and summoned countless pillars of fire that reached the sky and the earth, shrouding the demons and roasting them!!!
this……
This shit is something that current players can do???
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of players who had watched the promotional CG at almost the same time were shocked and speechless for a long time...
